“…Long-term durability is an obvious requirement for most EC devices, and this property has been investigated repeatedly [1,[148][149][150][151][152][153]. Durability is multi-faceted and includes the ability to maintain charge transport between the two thin films in an EC device for many thousands of cycles without major loss of performance, resistance against degradation by solar irradiation for extended times, chemical ruggedness especially with regard to interfaces, sufficient shelf-life, etc.…”

Electrochromic (EC) materials can be integrated in thin-film devices and used for modulating optical transmittance. The technology has recently been implemented in large-area glazing (windows and glass facades) in order to create buildings which combine energy efficiency with good indoor comfort. This critical review describes the basics of EC technology, provides a case study related to EC foils for glass lamination, and discusses a number of future aspects. Ample literature references are given with the object of providing an easy entrance to the burgeoning research field of electrochromics.

“…It results from the generation of different electronic absorption bands in the visible region, which is correlated to redox states switching [1,2] . Electrochromic materials have been attracting much interest for several decades since they have several important applications, such as electrochromic windows [3,4] , rear-view mirrors [5] , electrochromic displays [6] , and electronic paper or electrochromic painting [7] . In recent years, conducting polymers have received increasing attention as electrochromic materials.…”

The polyaniline (PANI) films doped with complex acid (sulfuric acid and sulfosalicylic acid) were prepared using the potentiostatic method on bare nickel flake (NF) and flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. The contents of the PANI films ， surface elements, electrochromic property and electrical conductivity were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental results show that differences exist among cycle stability, redox reversibility and response time of polyaniline films on these two kinds of substrates, but the electrochromic phenomenon of the PANI films is in substantial agreement. The equilibrium transmittance spectra in the visible region (400-800 nm) for the PANI film on flexible PET/ITO substrate was obtained at different applied potential from -0.4 to 1.5 V. The results show that the transmittance of the PANI film by applying voltage is adjustable in a row and has excellent electrochromic performance.

“…Long-term durability is an obvious requirement for EC devices to be used in "smart windows", and this property has been the subject of numerous studies in particular with regard to device performance and industry aspects; much of this work appeared already in the late 1990s [25][26][27][28][29]. Durability is a multifaceted property and involves the ability to sustain charge transport between the two EC films in a device for many thousand cycles without major changes in the performance, resistance against degradation by solar irradiation for long times, chemical resistance especially at the thin-film/electrolyte interface, sufficient shelf-life, etc.…”

Electrochromic devices such as "smart windows" for energy efficient windows must be durable enough for many years of practical use. Typical devices employ films based on W oxide and Ni oxide, and this paper surveys recent progress on durability-related issues for these materials. In the case of W oxide, we discuss the beneficial effects of Ti addition, and we describe recent and unexpected progress concerning galvanostatic rejuvenation of aged W oxide films. For Ni oxide, we report how charge exchange declination during extended voltammetric cycling can be modeled in terms of a power law.
